Conventional Storage Water Heater

The most common unit is a conventional storage water heater. It has an insulated storage tank that holds the heated water, which ranges anywhere between 30 to 80 gallons. What powers this type of heat? That depends mostly on the services in your home but typically the fuel source is:

• Electricity
• Oil
• Liquid propane
• Natural gas

Electric Heat Pump Water Heater

This kind of water heater is powered by electricity. It works to intensify the heat it draws from the air, transferring it to a quantity of water held in its storage tank. Because it works in tandem with the environment, an electric heat pump water heater performs at its optimal best in hot climates. It can save up to three times more energy than a conventional heating unit.

Tank-Less Water Heater

Compared to a traditional unit, because it only heats water upon demand, a tank-less water heater also saves energy. As a result, the only water you end up paying to heat is what’s actually used. The downside of a tank-less heater is that it has a low flow rate, meaning it usually only moves two to five gallons of water per minute.
